I hate to admit it but I just love squirrels – even when they raid my bird feeders (which they most certainly do along with the deer!)…..they’re such characters and they do eventually get full and move on so the BIRDS can enjoy some too!

I also loved to watch the squirrels at the bird-feeder when I lived in the townhouse. I put a shepherd’s crook in the middle of the back yard thinking the 5 ft space from the fence would hinder them. They jumped that very easily and they’d climb!! up the shepherd’s crook. Nothing discourages a squirrel so I finally just decided I’d feed the squirrels and the birds!

I have 2 bird feeders that usually have squirrels hanging off them — they sit on the fence, dangle their tail at Frankie and terrorize the liver out of him! The good news? Squirrels are messy and spill a lot of seed on the ground .. the birds will be happy with that, too 🙂

I have a bird feeder too, but so far, squirrels have stayed away. We’ve enjoyed seeing all the different kinds of fine-feathered friends show up and have to keep busy filling the feeder. I also have to laugh when the birds squawk very loudly at our cat if she’s outside.

Hilarious! We stopped feeding the birds in our yard because it attracted too many deer, then once the deer were in the yard, they ate all of my flowers! Grrrr. I miss feeding the birds though, as I loved watching them!

These are great … I have loads of squirrels at home, and they’re interesting critters …
They make a sound that almost sounds like a bird call; it took me awhile to figure that one out.. They’ll lay flat out on their chest on the deck railing to nap..
They chase each other around the yard, and do spiral tracks from the roots of the trees to the top of the trunk & back down,
And.. they will turn on the cats & give chase .. Now that’s entertainment 😉

Your little visitor will undoubtedly be back for more! You have a friend for life. Our local bear(s) manage to tear down my friend’s bird feeders, so she has to bring them all in at night. Squirrels are more fun than bears. 🙂
